Assignment 7 Portrait lighting with Artificial lighting

These portraits are of my daughter Susan. They were taken in her home in the city of St. Louis.

Because of the lack of outlets available to me, I was not too happy with my lighting even though I used 3 photo lights. Placement of these lights was limited due to having only one extension cord, making it difficult to get rid of some shadows. I tried to compensate a little by editing in Picasa.

My white balance was incondescent. My f stops were 4.7 - 5.0. ISO ranged between 80 and 699.

Susan was a very co-operative subject, trying to give me different poses which I was pleased with.

I have learned several things, maily, make sure you have plenty of extension cords and watch out, those photo lamps are hot.
